Detroit-Style Pizzeria Via 313 Expands Outside of Austin With Three New Locations

Detroit-style pizzeria Via 313 has announced its first round of new locations from its partnership with restaurant-focused investment company Savory from last year. The new Via 313 locations are 2111 North IH-35 in Round Rock, 1335 East Whitestone Boulevard in Cedar Park, and its first out-of-state location in Salt Lake City, with all the locations scheduled to open later this year.

Via 313 is known for its rectangular, super-cheesy deep-dish Detroit-style pizza, though some locations also serve bar-style pizza, appetizers, and dessert. The Round Rock location will have a full bar, and will also share the building, a former Fuddrucker’s, with fried chicken restaurant Tumble 22.

The Salt Lake City location will be the first Via 313 outside of Texas. Co-owner Brandon Hunt told Eater, “We are super excited to bring Salt Lake City a slice of home. It’s one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. and every city needs some Detroit-style pizza.”

Brothers and Detroit natives Brandon and Zane Hunt opened the first location of the pizzeria as a trailer in 2011. Since then it has expanded to a total of two trailers (at Rainey bar now located at Alibi and West Sixth bar Star Bar) and three restaurant locations (North Campus, East Austin, and Oak Hill).
